I will use them more often. tables can be made by using No-Fault CSS? validation: Why do we need to validate pages? some info about CSS was addressed to html. Are those the same for Xhtml? Design Rant: Not sure about that W3C is mentioned all the time... what is it? With my homework I will be able to understand things better.

Design Rant: Not sure about that
W3C is mentioned all the time… what is it?

With my homework I will be able to understand things better.

well done today – you had a bit of an overload of information and tips for working methods… so you did well to get it all setup and working ;)

Just wanted to leave you a few more notes with those keyboard shortcuts :)

To create / save / open / close files

  • apple + N => create new file
  • apple + S => save file
  • apple + W => close file
  • apple + O => open file

To work between TacoHTML and Firefox

  • apple + tab => to switch between applications
  • apple + H => to hide an open application, ie the program you are using at the time (works for most programs)

To code and preview the page

ALWAYS save first – then PREVIEW – and REFRESH your page

  • apple + tab => to switch between applications, to preview in Firefox directly
    (note: you will need to have opened the file twice for this: once in Taco, and once in Firefox
  • apple + Y in TACO => to preview using Taco

and lastly – 2 important screenshots I sent you during the lesson via chat:
